In the frozen northlands of the embattled realm of Midkemia, fate can form strange alliances. It is nine long, bloody years into the ongoing Riftwar that is tearing Midkemia asunder. Having survived a disastrous encounter with their sworn enemy, the Tsurani, Dennis Hartraft's cold, hungry, and exhausted Marauders arrive at a frontier garrison—at the same time as a Tsurani patrol. But a more devastating threat resides within the stronghold: moredhel, a migrating horde of dark elves so deadly and vicious that the only hope for survival is if bitter enemies band together and fight as one. Now two hostile groups must make their way to freedom, facing a common foe, braving the merciless elements, and haunted by the voice of conscience demanding, "what is more important, a man's life . . . or his honor?"

Raymond E. Feist
Amerikansk forfatter som er blevet et af de største navne inden for fantasy. Han startede med at skrive romanen "Magician" som blev delt I to bind. Her lærte vi Pug, Tomas og alle de andre at kende. Siden har det udviklet sig til det som kaldes for "The Riftwar Saga", men serien fortsatte med en trilogi som foregik I Kelewan, den ene af verdenerne i den foregående serie. Og der er kommet "The Serpentwar Saga" som introducerer nye personer, samt "The Riftwar Legacy" som fylder nogle af hullerne mellem de tidligere bøger.
